A/N

So this first chapter will be...different. It won't be exactly like 1918. It will take it about two chapters until I can actually get started with the story and where the heck Edward went. I changed a few things so they would fit better for my story, don't kill me. I hope this is alright. Let me know what you think.

"One moment." Carlisle was off searching the cave. "I can't find him."

I couldn't see Carlisle but I heard his voice clearly. One moment later he was standing in front of me.

"He isn't here. I searched every where." He looked at me waiting for some sort of reaction. I didn't know what to feel honestly. I didn't know this person that Carlisle said I was in love with only a few days ago. How could I feel upset that someone I couldn't remember wasn't waiting for me?

"Are you alright Bella?"

"I am."

–

I was starting home from my hunting trip. Carlisle was at the hospital working, I had nothing to do so hunting became a regular thing for me. I didn't need to hunt as often as I did, I was fine for a little over a week.

I noticed when I got closer to home that the sent of our house was wrong. There was something off about it. Once I neared it I found out what the smell was, human blood.

"Bella I need you to stay outside please. I'll be there in a moment." Carlisle was hovering over something, I didn't get a good look. I waited outside until I heard the door open.

"I'm sorry, I hope I didn't seem rude. I know you do well around human blood, which is amazing, but I didn't want to chance it."

"What's going on?"

"I hope you do not think wrong of me. Do you remember Esme?"

"I do. She was a wonderful woman. I've missed seeing her."

Esme was a beautiful woman that Carlisle knew. Carlisle is in love with her, the only problem is, she is human. Because he loves her, he turned her away. He couldn't live with himself if her hurt her. She was always very caring and kind to me.

"They brought her to the hospital today."

"Is she alright? What happened to her?"

"She will be alright, in a few days." It took me a moment to understand.

"You...You're changing her?"

"I couldn't let her bleed like that. She jumped off a cliff. They brought her straight to the morgue, they didn't bother trying to save her, although she was still alive. I found her, brought her here...you know the rest." He looked like I would be disappointed in him, like he had been caught doing something he shouldn't.

"You have nothing to be ashamed of. You did it for love, I would do the same. From what you told me, I did do the same." He was staring at me, waiting for me to be depressed I think. "Don't pity me. I don't even remember him. How can I be upset about losing something I didn't know I had?"

"You amaze me Bella. You are a very strong woman. I've never seen one like you."

"Thanks. Did you explain to her what you were going to do?"

"I did. I'm not sure if she will remember it though. I imagine I'll have to explain it again."

–

When Esme awoke, she instantly knew who we were. She confessed loving Carlisle from the moment she met him, he was pleased of course.

"Bella dear would you like to hunt? Carlisle will be gone for some time. He has an extra shift to put in."

I considered Carlisle and Esme my parents. For all intents and purposes, they are. I love them dearly and they constantly think of me.

"I hope you don't mind me asking, I know you and I never really talked about it. Carlisle told me of the person you lost when you were changed. Who was it?"

"I don't mind. He was the love of my life apparently."

"Apparently?"

"Yes, I didn't remember him."

"I'm so sorry Bella. I shouldn't have asked."

"No really. It doesn't bother me. The only thing I remember about him is his eyes. They were a beautiful emerald green. Other than that, I never collected many memories of him. Occasionally I'll remember one if it was something that related to us but, otherwise, there is nothing more."

"That must be terrible to lose the man you love."

"Like I said, I don't remember anything about him so I really feel no loss. I feel lonely on occasion but it isn't that bad really." She smiled at me, and took my hand.

"If you ever need to talk about it Bella, I will listen to you." Esme was always very motherly towards me. Apparently she jumped off the cliff because she lost her baby. It was tragic.

"Thank you Esme."

We proceeded our hunt. Upon arrival to our house, again there was that odd smell. Human blood...again.

We appeared in the door and saw a beautiful young girl lying on the couch.

"I couldn't leave her. She was lying in the street bleeding to death. I had to save her."

"Of course you did, we do not blame you." Esme spoke to Carlisle. After Esme had been in the house a few moments she finally noticed the smell of the girl's blood, she had to leave.

Carlisle stayed away with Esme and left me to clean the beautiful blond. Although I was only two years old, I had a great strength to resist blood.

I gave her a bath, changed her clothes and did all I could for her. When the she would scream I would hold her hand and try to quiet her, tell her things that would comfort her. It never really helped, nothing helps to take your mind off the pain.

"Carlisle!" He and Esme had returned since the change would be completed very soon today.

"What is it Bella?"

"It's almost done. Should we bring Esme in?" He nodded and returned with her.

The girls first reaction was to hiss at all of us, she didn't know us and was frightened. After I spoke to her she seemed to remember my voice and it calmed her slightly. Again Carlisle and Esme left for a while until the girl, whose name is Rosalie, could get settled.

"When were you changed?" Rosalie asked me. She was always full of questions for me.

"Two years ago."

"Who was it that changed you?"

"The same person that made your transformation possible, Carlisle. He also changed Esme. Once you are comfortable here they will come meet you. For now they want you to be able to relax."

"Do we drink blood?"

"We do. But not from humans. We found another way to live without having to sacrifice people. We feed on animal blood." Her nose wrinkled.

"Believe me. You won't mind when it comes time for your first hunt. Speaking of, you are probably hurting are you not?" She nodded. "Would you like to hunt with me?"

"I don't know how."

"It comes naturally. Come on."

I took Rosalie out for two days. We came home and Carlisle and Esme were waiting for us. They had their introductions and before we new it, it was five months later.

"Carlisle!" Rosalie was shouting from the living room.

"Rose! What did you do?"

"No, I didn't do that. He was fighting with a bear. I couldn't let him die. Can you change him for me? I would have done it myself but I was afraid I couldn't stop. Please Carlisle."

"Are you sure Rosalie?"

"Yes! Please do it before he dies!"

Esme and I never said anything, we just stood and watched the two figure out what they should do. Rosalie felt a strong connection to this man. She said it was like none she had ever felt before and she wanted him to be with her. She couldn't force herself to turn away.

"Where did you find him?" I asked her after things were calmer and the mans transformation was starting.

"I was hunting. I smelled the bear blood mixed with human blood. I thought it was odd so I checked it out. He was getting mauled by the bear, I couldn't just let him die there Bella."

"I wouldn't expect you to Rose."

After Emmett's transformation was complete he was an unusually happy person. He wasn't frightened when he woke. He just asked what was for dinner.

Rosalie and Emmett were made for each other. You could see it in everything they did, their world revolved around the other.

After three years we decided that we would all move. We didn't want to stay in Alaska any longer. We needed to live somewhere that we could stay out during the day and not let the humans get suspicious with our sparkly skin. We decided, Forks Washington. We found our house and decided to move as soon as possible.

Carlisle got a job and Esme was going to enroll us into the high school when registration started.

"Home sweet home!" Esme yelled as we walked in the doors to our new home. We all thought it best, since Emmett, Rose and I would be starting school, to buy all the necessary things a house has.

"Everyone in the dining room please." After we all got situated around the seats Carlisle immediately began speaking. "Someone is about to be here. I've never smelled their scent before but I don't think they would be a threat seeing as how they are reaching us at our home instead of when we hunt. I will answer the door, you all wait behind me." After he said that we heard the rushing of feet coming up the long drive. Within a few seconds there was a knock on the door.

"Hi! I'm Alice!" A tiny little spiky haired vampire walked in the door and hugged everyone of us. "This is Jasper." He shook all of our hands. "When can we move in?"

We all stood there a moment trying to figure this girl out.

"You need a place to stay dear?" Esme asked Alice.

"Well, yes and no. I can see the future. I had a vision of all of you with Jasper and I. As soon as Jasper met me we started our search for you."

It took no more than Alice introducing herself to get us to love her. She immediately brought light into our home.

So I'm not 100% pleased with this first chapter, but it is a heck of a lot better than the other ones I tried. It took me four shots to get it to this point and I'm still not completely thrilled with it, but I owed all of you this for being so amazing!!! I hope you liked it!!

PLEASE REVIEW!! I need to know what you think, don't be too mean though :)
